TQI Student Raves
"Your work has changed my life and health remarkably! Thanks, Kathy!"
"I signed up for your class because I had a pretty intense gout attack in one
of my knees. Neither of my knees have worked really well in the last few
years and I had big puffy bulges on the outside of each knee. I wasn’t really
watching my knees, but woke up one morning to find that both of the big
puffy bulges are TOTALLY gone and I can bend my knees again without
pain. I was kind of shocked as I didn’t feel the swelling going down, but in
fact it just disappeared. Amazing!
"I've lost 12 pounds -- including a pound over Thanksgiving, which is a
first. My skin is glowing, I have crazy amounts of energy, and near complete
elimination of morning headaches, backaches, and stiffness."
"I am still not struggling with this food plan. I am still on the TQI elimination
plan because I am enjoying a really steady weight loss after so many years
of trying and trying on plans that were excrutiatingly difficult. My vertigo is
really gone and that is a miracle for me. It has made work and everything
else so much more enjoyable. I have lost 23 pounds now and am off my
chronic pain meds after 8 years."
"This really works.Thank you again, Kathy, for a new lease on life."
"Actually hate to have the class over and I was dreading making the time for
it before it started."
"This class is the best $180 I have ever spent!"
"I am doing well on the plan and down to 117.5 from a starting weight of
132. I started your plan on my own in March, but am learning so much more
now that I'm in your class and have the books. I feel great! Arthritic neck
pain is gone! Even low back pain is diminished and I can keep up with
weight training, cycling, and spin classes."
"I have to say since starting this program I don't even think about food in that
way anymore. I have no guilt or shame. Eliminating sugar was the best thing.
Staying away from wheat, corn has eliminated bingeing. I'm amazed and so
relieved. I do know that this way of eating is for the rest of my life. I just
can't believe that this way of eating has healed so much emotional baggage.
Feeling this way is worth giving up inflammatory foods. Also, my clothes are
getting looser and my middle has shrunk significantly."
"I've worked with plus size women; my friends are plus size. I have a friend
who signed up for the next class. She was skeptical at first, she figured it
was another diet that won't work. She saw how well I was doing and ate the
food that I was eating. Needless to say, she was impressed."
" Just to give you an update:I feel I can eat like a horse!
But with all my eating, I have lost 4” in my waist (~36” to ~32”)
I have also went from 199.9 pounds to 185.7 pounds on my 6’ 2” frame
Sore shoulder is gone"
“I am now down 14 lbs, which is just a small part of my benefits. Kathy, you
know how we were talking about my knee pain that wakes me in the wee
hours of the night? I have had 4 nights pain free. I cannot remember how
many years it has been since I have not been abruptly woken with this pain. I
think I have shared with you that I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 8 years
ago, and I have learned to function with this condition, but I have never
learned to live with it. One of the symptoms of my Fibro is brain fog. It is
debilitating and sometimes very embarrassing at work. My mind is clearer
than it has ever been. I think the best way to describe this to you, is by
telling you that I am on top of my game. “
"My energy level amazes me! Absolutely no crashes after meals, wow I
thought it was my age!...(68). I really want to be careful adding foods as I
feel so good, I think I'd like to maintain this way of eating."
“Kathy, have I thanked you for helping me? If not, please accept my
warmest thanks for putting in the tremendous work that you have to get your
book published, for teaching your classes, and for caring that your fellow
human beings live a full, long, healthy life.”
“A big, heartfelt thank you to you for doing these classes. I feel like I tried
everything else to manage my RA , from major cocktails of drugs to lifestyle
changes (walking, eating well , or so I thought) to trying to sleep more to
adjusting my work hours and even therapy and meditation, and this is THE
best thing, the best result, I’ve ever had. And so much easier than anything
else I’ve tried! I cannot describe in words my appreciation or the
improvement in my overall well-being it’s off the charts. Two months ago, I
was taking opioids and feeling desperate. Now I feel at least 10-15 years
younger, energized, and am virtually pain free.”
“I have had joint pain for years, especially knee pain, from surgeries early in
life, and felt I had had to give up so many physical activities because of pain.
I really didn't think I could change that, but now I know that I can. And I
have!! I have lost 22 pounds since the class, and most of my knee pain is
gone. But for me, the best part is my new relationship with food”
“I am doing fabulous. i just sniff at cake now. Why would I trade in my clear
functioning brain for a piece of cake? Not doing it! My skin is clearing up...
slowly. My weight and blood pressure is coming down. I am sleeping 2 hours
less a night and I am rested. I feel more peaceful and present. Thank you for
this gift Kathy. You figured it out.”
“I have lost 30 lbs. I have gone down 4 pant sizes much to my amazement.
It's the first time anything has worked for me. Lots of people have noticed. I
just want to keep on going.”
“I had done this eating plan (more or less) for about 5 weeks before our
class started and then I have followed it closely since started class. I am
feeling much better than before on the approximated plan. My weight is
good, my energy is good but the big thing for me is that my rosacea is
receding. I may be able to do without make up soon if this continues which
would be great!”
“I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis 10 years ago.
I have been taking Methotrexate and Enbrel shots twice a week. Since I
have been on this diet I have lost 16 pounds, joint pain is minimal, my sed
rate is down significantly and ANA is in the normal range for the first time in
10 years. I went into this program kicking and screaming but now I am
dancing! I can actually ride a bike again.” CN, RT (R)
“I am diabetic. This program has enabled me to reduce my daily insulin by 3
units/day and has eliminated my need for insulin coverage during the day. I
am waking with fasting glucoses of 95 or less. This has all happened in two
weeks on this program. Every diabetic should take a serious look at this
program, it is life saving!”
“I lost 15 pounds in the first three months I have been on this diet. More
importantly, the chronic hip and foot pain I had for the past five years, which
did not respond to normal medical care was gone after three weeks. I am a
converted skeptic. “ Craig Kopet, PT
"I used to think I had a pretty healthy diet; a fruit based breakfast with toast
and oatmeal and big vegetable stir fry's or salads for lunch and dinner. It
never occurred to me to balance my meals or to ask myself why after each
meal my stomach required a tums to settle down. Remaining true to your
diet plan for 6 weeks has helped me rethink the way I eat, when I eat and
why I eat what I eat. I've lost 16 pounds to date and am within a few pounds
of my ideal weight. I've lost an inch and a half around my waist and actually
enjoy being seen with my shirt tucked in! Other than feeling lighter and even
more energetic than I normally am, I also am clearer in thought and action.”
“Hi Kathy, I've now lost 50 pounds and have started losing more quickly
again after long S-L-O-W loss period. Feeling great. Still on first 3 week plan
for the most part!”
“Kathy, Just a note to let you know how well I am doing!
I could be the poster child for your class. I took your class last spring in
Burien. The things that have improved for me include relief from arthritis pain
in my hands (the reason I took the class), relief from heartburn, seasonal
allergies (both winter and summer), I lost 19 pounds and my cholesterol
dropped 19 points, seldom have hot flashes and the anxiety that
accompanied them, and my memory has improved. My husband and I find it
very easy to eat proportionately and seldom eat dairy or wheat.”
